Scope and content
Discusses the arrival of some pictures and the decoration and furnishing of his rooms. Has enquired about an overcoat but believes it to be too expensive as he has already spent 'a good deal' at the tailors. Discusses visits to friends where he had to say grace, the 'grub' was 'remarkably good' and he could not find any fault with the champagne. Discusses a visit from a friend, his return to Ipswich, and asks for some money as he is running out. Gives lengthy and detailed instructions for giving Aunt Elizabeth a 'shock' using his magneto.
